CEDAR FALLS — Quarterback Wyatt Sawvel ran for three touchdowns and threw for another and accounted for 233 yards of total offense to lead top-rated Don Bosco to a 52-14 win over No. 2 Remsen St. Mary’s Thursday morning in the 8-player State title game at the UNI-Dome. The Dons converted five turnovers into points, intercepting Derrick Schorg four times and returning one for a touchdown. Two of the interceptions came in the end zone to stop Hawk scoring threats. Don Bosco led 8-6 late in the first half before Sawvel connected with Kendall Becker on a 39-yard TD-pass with five seconds to play to open a 16-6 halftime lead. The Dons blew the game open with a 20-point blitz in a span of a minute and 31 seconds late in the third quarter. Sawvel’s two-yard run with 2:34 left in the third quarter extended the lead to 22-6 and eight seconds later, Thomas Even returned an interception 19 yards for a 28-6 advantage. The Hawks fumbled at their own one yard line on their next possession to set up a one yard run by Austin Svoboda with 1:03 to play in the third period. Sawvel and Even added touchdown runs in the fourth quarter for the Dons. The Hawks scored in the first quarter on a three yard run with a fumble by Matt Begnoche and Kenny Bohnenkamp hauled in an 18-yard TD pass from Derrick Schorg with 5:12 to play in the game. Don Bosco’s defense held St. Mary’s standout Caanan Cox to just 53 yards on 22 carries and the Hawks finished with just 25 yards on the ground. Cox caught five passes for an additional 26 yards. That forced Schorg to throw the ball 29 times. He connected on 16 for 187 yards. Carter Kuchel caught five passes for 82 yards. Sawvel carried 28 times for the defending State champion Dons for 188 yards and was 2-for-7 passing for 82 yards. Don Bosco had a 352-to-212 yardage advantage for the day. The title was the third in the last five years for Don Bosco and capped a 13-and-0 season to extend their state-best winning streak to 21 in a row. St. Mary’s ends the season at 11-and-1.
